If he really does build a stadium with an entertainment district full of restaurants and bars around it, the tax revenue for Char/Meck will be worth whatever $$ the city puts into the project. The stadium in Glendale would be a good example to look towards.

Glendale?

That stadium is approaching 20-years old...

The whole area around that stadium is what they are talking about not the stadium it self. There is a complex next-door to Glendale that has Entertainment and food that would be near the size if Concord Mills mall. 

How much Arizona land is involved?

I can't judge but if you know the stadium area very well it would be everything around Cedar St towards 77 worth. 

Gotcha.

Think my question was poorly worded...

..."Glendale" was held out as an example of what could be, just wondered how much land was involved there?

Seems odd that a complex approaching 20yrs old as cited as something to emulate, seems like  they'll be hankering to tear that one down soon?

PantherCougar is correct, I was referencing the entertainment complex around the stadium as something I think Tepper wants to emulate. There are acres and acres of bars and restaurants around the stadium. The revenue from that would be endless for whoever owns the land and also for the tax collector. The stadium itself is still pretty sweet as well.

Probably looking at other stadium/mixed-use areas like the Braves stadium in Atlanta, where The Battery has seen some success of being able to draw people when games aren't happening.

Making an entertainment district around the stadium increases generic walkability scores (which are viewed positively by urban-planners), and can also provide for additional options pre- and post-game to help spread out the timing of vehicle traffic that tends to jam up the roads uptown for a few hours.

Wiki says 223 acres

👍

CP&F land site is only 55 acres.

Was reading up on the Glendale complex, looks like a fun place but they have had serious parking issues since the beginning because the city welched on a promise to provide 11,000 spots...

...11,000 parking spots would eat 45 acres alone.

Sure, if you're not building as a parking deck - if we're using the same math of 1 acre of land = 242 parking spaces.

Let's say for a parking deck, 1 acre could handle 150 parking spaces (giving add't clearance for ramps and support.  Let's make the parking deck 4 square acres (or 600 spaces per level).  That's just your everyday, normal 18 story parking structure.

More realistically, it'll probably be 10 acres -- making that 1,500 spaces per level, or a 10 story parking deck. Build some of that below ground vs above ground OR build more than one -- and it's not as terrible as it seems to look at.

it might be a pain to drive around in, but it could work given different configurations.

Disclaimer: "math"

A 10-acre/10-story parking deck --- wow, that would be something. 

Tailgating "below ground" doesn't sound like much fun...

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Sunday Ticket is now offering a monthly subscription if you're not interested in subscribing for the full package Keep in mind that the full package will be less expensive than getting billed monthly for the same timeframe.  But for a one-off month situation? Certainly an option to consider they also don't seem to mind if 2 households share the same Sunday Ticket login. If you call and ask for discounts, they kinda allude to "do you have a friend you can share the cost with" in the conversation

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Watching ALL the games will require: Antenna or cable access to local broadcast partners to view the games of the local team. Due to blackout restrictions, the local games will not be available on Sunday Ticket.  What this means is that you DON'T NEED Sunday Ticket to view those local team's games. All games for a local team will ALWAYS be available on a local broadcast partner, no subscription required I've had success streaming the evening Sunday and Monday national games directly off the NFL/NBC/ABC websites, no subscription required. That said, ESPN may require login via your cable provider account - but it's included in your cable fee, so have fun with that.  NBC is available for free via antenna (or avail via cable, take your pick -- and ABC has been simulcasting the ESPN games, so that's also an antenna/free optio. The Peacock and Netflix exclusive games will require subscriptions to those services if the teams are not your local team YouTube will broadcast the Brazil game free  NFL Network for those random thursday games that aren't your local team... until the ESPN partnership comes into play, in which case your ESPN subscription should give you access (lots of assumptions with this bullet) Everything else is pretty much Sunday Ticket or go to your local bar I may have missed one, but the general gist is above In short, don't believe the online influences who say you need to purchase a full-year subscription to a service to watch "all" the NFL games (ie full year of Peacock). Because you don't need a full-year sub.   So no -- there is not a single service that will let you watch ALL the games Sunday Ticket will only cover you only for the sunday daytime games.

      Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.
